Step 1. Marinade Chicken

Select the marinade ingredients and seasonings you want to use on your chicken. Starting out with a citrus base will make for light, fresh tasting chicken.

Step 2. Preheat the Grill

Once you are satisfied with the marinating time, start the grill and set it to 375° Fahrenheit. Allow it at least five minutes to warm up to the proper temperature before you put the meat on. If your grill beeps when it has finished preheating, you should wait until you hear the beep.
